Chapter 5
The day that I imagined to be my happiest day was here, but was it my happiest day? No, it was not
I was getting married to Nick Grey. Yes, it was my wedding into this horrible marriage. I had woken up hearing the most distasteful news ever, that I was getting married and just seconds after that piece of information, my bedroom door flared open, and the dress, the jewelry, the make-up kits, all entered my room. I gasped at the expensive clothing but refused to be moved. I need to see Nick immediately.
I stood up from the bed, ignoring the maid's greetings.
" Ma'am, you have to get dressed," one of the maids said to me, it made me even angrier.
" Are you kidding me? To hell with you" I said and stumbled out of the room.
I think I know where his room is. I saw him enter it last night. I walked to the door and knocked, waited for a while but did not get an answer, I breathed in, trying to hold myself from exploding, I pushed the door open and there he was seated on a large king-size bed. Well-decorated room.
I looked at him, what kind of a man is this?
" You did not tell me this thing was going to happen today," I said to him
" Get set, we are getting married, the guests are here already, we should not keep them waiting," he said coldly
" You know you can cancel it, right?" I asked him hoping he would agree
" Are you dumb? Get ready, we are taking our vows" That was it, it was clear that I was getting married, my wishes and
opinions did not matter, I left his room.
Standing in front of everyone, with Nick by my side, I saw my father, I did not want to see him ever again. He beamed with a smile at me, I turned my face away from him.
As I took the vows, I felt the tears linger down my cheeks, it was tears of pain. I quickly wiped them away.
Nick looked at me, and he let out a chuckle, " we are married" he said to me
"I wish this was a big dream," I said to him, walking away from his presence, it disgusted me.
I looked around, but could not find anyone familiar. I felt a tap on my shoulders.
" Hey, you look so beautiful and your dress is so beautiful as well," she said to me slowly with her eyes smiling at me.
" Thank you, ma'am, your son spent a lot on them, it was unnecessary," I said to her, minding how I unleashed my anger on my mother-in-law.
" It's fine by me, do you know where Nick went?" She asked me, I pointed in the direction I last saw him, but he was not there.
She left, probably looking for her son, and why on earth would she ask me where a grown man went, when I am not his Nanny?
I parked my gown, the dress looked beautiful anyway but it did not take away the anger that I felt towards all of this.
I noticed a presence, piercing his eyes on me, I turned and my eyes hit this tall, handsome man who stood there, with a glass of wine in his hands, he smiled at me and walked away. " Who is he?" I thought in my heart.
I was about to go after him when my father came to me. He looked like he wanted to say something to me but I was in no mood for any talks. I walked away from my father, following the man but I lost him already.
This time, I was alone in the hallway. I stood there waiting for him to appear again but did not.
I thought about Nick, this time, wondering where he had gone for real.
I was about to leave the hallway, going back to the reception when I heard tiny laughter coming out from one of the rooms. I walked to it, taking my steps slowly. I flipped my hair away from my ears as I placed my ears on the door.
" You know I can not leave you, I want you with me always"
I heard the voice but could not recognize who it was. But it was a lady's voice.
I touched the handle of the door, eager to open it. I would say that I was looking for my husband.
I pushed it open and there I saw the unthinkable, I was dazed for a second.
Nick locked lips with this lady who looked hot, hot like fire.
I coughed and they looked at me.
" Here comes the devil herself," the lady said
I swallowed in, was I the one she called a Devil? Who is she by the way? I was almost opening my mouth to ask Nick but closed it back.
This is the life my father signed up for me. Whatever he does is not my business.
" Your mother was asking after you," I said to Nick, leaving him and the lady. I walked away. Dazed and my stomach rumbling. I walked to the bathroom and threw up.
I guess this was the beginning. I raised my face facing the mirror, splashed water on my face, rolled the tissues, and wiped out the make-up.
I Left the bathroom. I walked outside to the car, at least I knew what his car looked like. Luckily for me, the driver was there.
" Take me home," I said to him.
He just stood there, not making a move.
I got in, seated when I saw Nick approaching. He came and opened the car door, got in, and sat right beside me.
I looked away. The driver got in and drove away. A lot was running through my mind. I remembered the man who was looking at me and suddenly went away, away from my sight. Then Nick and that lady kissed so passionately.
There is a lot to talk about.
